70. Ah, so two wrongs make that right?
And as I have said elsewhere, you see the suicide videos and the musical interludes CONTINUOUSLY, between every segment, like commercials.

Imagine if you saw Ann Coulter spewing hate to include calls for death every ten minutes, no matter what show you were watching? Or Glenn Beck singing "Throw the Muslim Down the Well?"

The issue is not just people expressing their hateful opinions so much as the entire basis of the programming. The suicide bomber martyrdom videos are shown constantly; the militia scenes with hate songs too.

I certainly don't endorse the "right" of Ann Coulter to get up on TV and call for the death of anyone. She's free to make halfassed statements about who she likes and who she doesn't like, but just because Faux and others let her make a hideous comment every so often, it does not make it right, and it does not compare with the round-the-clock incitement of al-Manar.
